Your access to Discord and all content stored on the platform can be removed at any time without prior notice, and you have no contractual right to compensation or restoration, which is particularly significant for communities or creators who rely on the platform.
The agreement grants Discord a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to reproduce, modify, adapt, distribute, and display content users post on the platform, which persists for publicly shared content.
